Postponement Announcement for "Migration, Logistics and Unequal Citizens in Contemporary Global Context"

2020-03-26

During the past couple of weeks, COVID-19 has cast us all in an uncertain future. Given the abundant travel and meeting restrictions, and the real risks posed by air travel and large meetings in the current environment, we had to make difficult decisions. In light of the worsening situation, we have decided to postpone the CHCI-Mellon Global Humanities Institute on "Migration, Logistics and Unequal Citizens in Contemporary Global Context" by ONE YEAR and to schedule it from 1st-10th June 2021 in National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan.

Even though the programme has been postponed, we will keep the project going by engaging in several activities online. We are going to establish a Facebook Page for all participants to share their projects and other information. The research group will upload relevant information periodically to keep the momentums of the group. Additionally, we are expecting to have an online event every other month starting from April to Dec. 2020, including study groups, database building (reading materials, documentaries, NGO websites……etc.), cluster discussion, or online forum.
For more information on the online programme, please see our website: http://ghi2020.blog.nctu.edu.tw/

We hope that you and those around you are healthy and safe, and thank you for your patience and understanding during this uncertain time.
